Re: Argentinian GP20?

A friend sent me this photo from a trip she took to Argentina. I'm pretty sure that the loci is an EMD product, but I'm having trouble identifying it. Any help?

Hi CN7059

Is a EMD model G22-CW of 1650-1500 HP. This motor operates a public tour railroad named Tren Patagonico. The special feature of this unit is that belongs to a batch of 18 motors built in Argentina by Astarsa&#8203;&#8203;, licensed from EMD, between 1977 and 1978.
